Do not use a steam cleaner on any cooking range, hobs and oven appliances. Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid electric shock. Never put items directly on the base of the oven or cover the oven with foil, as this can cause the base element to overheat. CAUTION This appliance must not be installed behind a decorative door in order to avoid overheating. The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously. Fire Safety Advice If you do have a fire in the kitchen, don t take any risks - get everyone out of your home and call the Fire Brigade. If you have an electrical fire in the kitchen: Pull the plug out, or switch off the power at the fuse box - this may be enough to stop the fire immediately Smother the fire with a fire blanket, or use a dry powder or carbon dioxide extinguisher Remember: never use water on an electrical or cooking oil fire. Other Safety Advice Servicing should be carried out only by authorised personnel.

4 Do not operate the appliance without the glass panel correctly fitted. There is a risk of electric shock, so always make sure you have turned off and unplugged your appliance before starting. Always allow the product to cool down before you change a bulb. Do not modify the outer panels of this appliance in any way. This appliance must be earthed. The appliance must never be disconnected from the mains supply during use, as this will seriously affect the safety and performance, particularly in relation to surface temperatures becoming hot and gas operated parts not working efficiently. The cooling fan (if fitted) is designed to run on after the control knob has been switched off. GAS WARNING! - If you smell gas: Do not try to light any appliance, Do not touch any electrical switch. Contact your local gas supplier immediately.

5 USING THE GRILL - ELECTRIC Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used - young children should be kept away. A grill pan handle can be purchased as an optional extra from our spares department quoting the part numbers below: Handle Handle grip Complete grill pan pack Contact details can be found on the customer care page. If cleaning the grill pan when it is hot, use oven gloves to move it. Food for grilling should be positioned centrally on the trivet. Using the grill Important: The grill door must be fully open when the grill is used. Open the grill door. Turn the control knob to the required setting. For best cooking results, we recommend that you preheat the dual grill for 3 minutes and the single grill for 5 minutes. For grilling small quantities of food, the centre (economy) grill can be used with the grill trivet inverted. For large quantities of food, the full grill can be used. Push the grill pan towards the back of the shelf, to position it under the grill. The speed of grilling can be controlled by adjusting the grill setting or by selecting a higher or lower shelf position. For toasting, and for grilling foods such as bacon, sausages or steaks, use a higher shelf position. For thicker foods such as chops or chicken joint pieces, use a middle to low shelf position. The grill trivet, inside the grill pan, can be inverted to give a high or low position, or it may be removed. To switch off, turn the control knob to the off position. Using aluminium foil Using aluminium foil to cover the grill pan, or putting items wrapped in foil under the grill creates a fire hazard. The cooling fan Depnding on your model, when the top oven is switched on, you will hear the cooling fan come on - this keeps the fascia and control knobs of the appliance cool during cooking. The fan may continue to operate for a period after the oven control has been switched off. Types of grill Variable rate grill: has adjustable heat settings 1 (low) to 8 (high) or 5 (high) - depending on the model. Single grill: has one grill element. The grill pan trivet MUST be inverted when using the single grill function. Dual grill: has two grill elements which can be used together, or as a single grill. Alternatively, you may have grill symbols similar to these below. or Full grill at 1/4 power Centre grill at full power Full grill area at full power 7.101

6 USING THE TOP OVEN - ELECTRIC (if fitted) When you are cooking keep children away from the vicinity of the oven. Caution: The top element gets extremely hot when in use, so take extra care to avoid touching it. The top oven is a conventional oven. Note: The top oven is not controlled by the programmer (if fitted). To turn on the top oven Turn the temperature control knob until the required temperature is selected. The red thermostat indicator will come on until the selected temperature is reached, and then go off. It will turn on and off periodically as the thermostat operates to maintain the selected temperature. To switch off, return the top oven control knob to the off position. Important: Never put items directly on the base of the oven, or cover the oven base with foil, as this may cause the element to overheat. Always position items on the shelf. The cooling fan Depnding on your model, when the top oven is switched on, you will hear the cooling fan come on - this keeps the fascia and control knobs of the appliance cool during cooking. The fan may continue to operate for a period after the oven control has been switched off. Preheating The oven must be preheated when cooking frozen or chilled foods, and we recommend preheating for yeast mixtures, batters, soufflés, and whisked sponges. Preheat the oven until the indicator light switches off for the first time, this will take up to 15 minutes depending on the temperature selected. If you are not preheating the oven, the cooking times in the following guide may need to be extended, as they are based on a preheated oven. Shelf positions There are either 3 or 4 shelf positions, depending on which model you have purchased. These are counted from the bottom of the oven upwards, so shelf position 1 is the lowest. When cooking frozen or chilled food, use the highest possible shelf position, while allowing some clearance between the food and the top element. The oven shelf must be positioned with the up-stand at the rear of the oven and facing up. Position baking trays and roasting tins on the middle of the shelves, and leave one clear shelf position between shelves, to allow for circulation of heat. When using the top oven As part of the cooking process, hot air is expelled through a vent at the top of the oven(s). When opening the oven door, care should be taken to avoid any possible contact with potentially hot air, since this may cause discomfort to people with sensitive skin. We recommend that you hold the underneath of the oven door handle

7 USING THE TOP OVEN - ELECTRIC (if fitted) TOP OVEN BAKING GUIDE Cooking times These times are based on cooking in a preheated oven. These cooking times are approximate, because the size and type of cooking dish will influence time as personal preferences. Shelf positions As a general guide, when cooking frozen or chilled food, use the highest possible shelf position, while allowing some clearance between the food and the top element. Follow the instructions given on packaging. Cooking temperatures The temperature settings and time given in the Baking Guides are based on dishes made with block margarine. If soft tub margarine is used, it may be necessary to reduce the temperature setting. If a recipe gives a different temperature setting to that shown in the guide, the recipe instruction should be followed. Because the top oven is more compact, it may be necessary to reduce cooking temperatures specified in recipes by up to 20 C. Use the baking guide as a reference for determining which temperatures to use. Item Temperature Shelf Approximate cooking time ( C) Position Small cakes Victoria sandwich (2 x 180mm / 7 ) Swiss roll Semi rich fruit cake (180mm x 7 ) Scones Meringues mins mins 8-12 mins 2¼ - 2¾ hours mins 2-3 hours Shortcrust pastry Puff / flaky pastry Choux pasrty Depends on size & type of cooking dish & also the filling Biscuits Sponge pudding Milk pudding mins mins 2-2½ hours 8.100

8 USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC Accessible parts may be hot when the oven is used. Young children should be kept away. To switch on the oven Turn the oven control knob(s) to the required setting. The red thermostat neon (if fitted) will come on until the selected temperature is reached and then go off; it will turn on and off periodically as the thermostat operates to maintain the selected temperature. To switch off, return the control knob to the off position. When using the oven As part of the cooking process, hot air is expelled through a vent in the oven. When opening the oven door, care should be taken to avoid any possible contact with potentially hot air, since this may cause discomfort to people with sensitive skin. We recommend that you hold the underneath of the oven door handle. PREHEATING Fanned oven When cooking sensitive items such as souffle and Yorkshire puddings or, when cooking bread, we recommend that the oven is preheated until the neon switches off for the first time. For any other types of cooking, a preheat may not be required. Conventional oven Preheating is always required Manual Operation (fanned only) The programmer must be set to manual operation before the main oven can be used. If A (Auto) is on the programmer display, return the oven to manual by pressing the up and down buttons simultaneously Any programme which has been set is cancelled. The cooling fan Depnding on your model, when the top oven is switched on, you will hear the cooling fan come on - this keeps the fascia and control knobs of the appliance cool during cooking. The fan may continue to operate for a period after the oven control has been switched off. OVEN FURNITURE Oven shelves The oven shelf must be positioned with the upstand at the rear of the oven and facing upwards. Position baking trays and roasting tins on the middle of the shelves. Baking tray and roasting tins For best cooked results and even browning, the recommended size baking trays and roasting tins that should be used are as follows; Baking tray 350mm x 250mm This size of baking tray will hold up to 12 small cakes. Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm We recommend that you use good quality cookware. Poor quality trays and tins may warp when heated, leading to uneven baking results

9 USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC Slow cooking ( Setting or 100 C) Make sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before cooking. Do not slow cook joints of meat or poultry weighing more than 2¼kg/4½lb. Preheat the oven to 170 C and cook for 30 minutes, then adjust the oven control to or 100 C (slow cook setting) for the remainder of the cooking time. Slow cooking times will be about 3 times as long as conventional cooking times. Do not open the oven door unnecessarily during slow cooking, as this will result in heat loss at low temperatures. Always use dishes with tightly fitting lids. To rectify badly fitting lids, place foil over the dish underneath the lid. Aluminium foil Use foil only to cover food or cooking dishes, using foil to cover the shelves or oven base creates a fire hazard. Cooking with a fanned oven As this is a high efficiency oven, you may notice the emission of steam from the oven when the door is opened. Please take care when opening the door. If you are used to cooking with a conventional oven you will find a number of differences to cooking with a fan oven which will require a different approach: There are no zones of heat in a fan oven as the convection fan at the back of the oven ensures an even temperature throughout the oven. This makes it ideal for batch baking - eg; when planning a party as all the items will be cooked within the same length of time. Foods are cooked at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, so conventional recipe temperature may have to be reduced. Please refer to the conversion chart. Preheating is generally not necessary as a fan oven warms up quickly. There is no flavour transference in a fan oven, which means you can cook strong smelling foods such as fish at the same time as mild foods - eg; milk puddings. When batch baking foods that will rise during cooking - eg; bread - always ensure that enough space has been left between the shelves to allow for the rise. Notes: When 2 or more shelves are being used, it may be necessary to increase the cooking time slightly. Because the 2 oven shelves are wider than in many ovens, it is possible to cook 2 items per shelf - eg; 2 victoria sandwiches or 2 casseroles. Although you need to keep in mind the points To help the air circulate freely with careful choice of dishes and tins, it is possible to cook a complete meal, and perhaps something else for the freezer, in the oven at the same time. When roasting meats, you will notice that fat splashing is reduced, which is due in part to the lower oven temperatures, and will help keep cleaning of the oven to a minimum. Because a fan oven has an even temperature throughout the oven, there is no need to follow the shelf positions given in the baking guide

10 USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC There is no need to interchange dishes onto different shelves part way through cooking, as with a conventional oven. To help the air circulate freely Position the shelves evenly within the oven and maintain a clearance from the oven roof and base. If more than one cooking dish or baking tray is to be used on a shelf, leave a gap of at least 25mm between the items themselves and the oven interior. Defrosting and cooling in the main oven To defrost frozen foods, turn the main oven control to the defrost position, place the food in the centre of the oven and close the door. To cool foods after cooking prior to refrigerating or freezing, turn the main oven control to the defrost position and open the door. Defrosting times Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or meat - eg; fish filets, prawns & mince will take approximately 1-2 hours. Placing the food in a single layer will reduce the thawing time. A medium sized casserole or stew will take approximately 3-4 hours. A 1½kg/3lb oven ready chicken will take approximately 5 hours, remove the giblets as soon as possible. Be safe Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this method. Do not defrost larger joints of meat and poultry over 2kg/4lb using this method. Never place uncooked food for defrosting next to cooked food which is to be cooled, as this can lead to cross contamination. Defrosting meat, poultry, and fish can be accelerated using this method but make sure they are completely thawed before cooking thoroughly. Place meat and poultry on a trivet in a meat tin. MAIN OVEN BAKING GUIDE Cooking times & temperatures The temperature settings and times given in the baking guide are based on dishes made with block margarine. If soft tub margarine is used it may be necessary to reduce the temperature setting. Allow enough space between shelves for food that will rise during cooking. Do not place items on the oven base as this will prevent air circulating freely

11 USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC Note: This is a fanned oven, therefore some adjustment will have to be made to conventional cooking temperatures. The table below shows conventional cooking temperatures, fanned oven temperatures and gas marks. For optimum results, conventional temperatures need to be converted to fanned oven temperatures. For example, an item which would normally cook at a conventional temperature of 180 C, will now cook at the fanned oven temperature of 160 C. Conventional temperature ( C) Fanned Oven ( C) Gas Mark 1/4 1/4 1/ Food Type Temperature settings ( C) Time Approx. Shelf Position Cakes Conv Fanned Small cakes Victoria sandwich Semi rich fruit cake Christmas cake HRS - 3HRS 2.5HRS - 3HRS Puddings Bread and butter pudding Fruit crumble hr 40-1hr 3 3 Miscellaneous Yorkshire pudding: large small Shortcrust pastry Depends on filling

12 USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC Traditional fruit cakes It should be remembered that ovens can vary over time, therefore cooking times can vary, making it difficult to be precise when baking fruit cakes. It is necessary therefore, to test the cake before removal from the oven. Use a fine warmed skewer inserted into the centre of the cake. If the skewer comes out clean, then the cake is cooked. Follow the temperatures suggested in the recipe and then adjust accordingly to the conversion table. Do not attempt to make Christmas cakes larger than the oven can cope with, you should allow at least 25mm (1 ) space between the oven walls and the tin. Always follow the temperatures recommended in the recipe. To protect a very rich fruit cake during cooking, tie 2 layers of brown paper around the tin. We recommend that the cake tin is not stood on layers of brown paper, as this can hinder effective circulation of air. Do not use soft tub margarine for rich fruit cakes, unless specified in the recipe. Always use the correct size and shape of tin for the recipe quantities. Roast turkey Roasting turkey involves cooking two different types of meat - the delicate light breast meat, which must not be allowed to dry out, and the darker leg meat, which takes longer to cook. The turkey must be roasted long enough for the legs to cook, so frequent basting is necessary. The breast meat can be covered once browned. Always make sure that the turkey is completely thawed and that the giblets are removed before cooking. Turkey should be roasted at 160 C C (fanned) or 180 C C (conventional) for 20 minutes per 450g (1 lb), plus 20 minutes, unless packaging advises otherwise. The turkey can be open roasted, breast side down, for half of the cook time, and then turned over for the remainder of the cooking time. If the turkey is stuffed, add 5 minutes per 450g (1 lb) to the cooking time. If roasting turkey covered with foil, add 5 minutes per 450g (1 lb) to the cooking time. To test if the turkey is cooked, push a fine skewer into the thickest part of the thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey is cooked. If the juices are still pink, the turkey will need longer cooking

13 USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC Roasting guide The times given in the roasting guide are only approximate, because the size and age of the bird will influence cooking times as will the shape of a joint and the proportion of the bone. Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. For large joints it is advisable to thaw over night. Frozen poultry should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. The time required depends on the size of the bird - eg; a large turkey may take up to 48 hours to thaw. Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will reduce fat splashing and will help to keep the oven interior clean. Alternatively, to help reduce fat splashing, potatoes or other vegetables can be roasted around the meat/poultry. Notes: When cooking stuffed meat or poultry calculate the cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the stuffing. For joints cooked in foil or covered roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated cooking time. Smaller joints weighing less than 1.25kg (2½lb) may require 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) extra cooking time. Position the oven shelf so that the meat or poultry is in the centre of the oven. It is recommended that the appliance is cleaned after open roasting. Cook in main oven at: 160 C C (fanned) 180 C C (conventional) Approximate Cooking Time (preheated oven) Beef Lamb Pork Poultry Rare Medium Well done Medium Well Done 20 minutes per 450g (1lb), plus 20 minutes 25 minutes per 450g (1lb), plus 25 minutes 30 minutes per 450g (1lb), plus 30 minutes 25 minutes per 450g (1lb), plus 25 minutes 30 minutes per 450g (1lb), plus 30 minutes 35 minutes per 450g (1lb), plus 35 minutes 20 minutes per 450g (1lb), plus 20 minutes 9.100

14 USING THE OVEN/GRILL - MULTI-FUNCTION Oven & Grill Functions The chart below details all of the functions which are available. Your oven may not have all of the functions shown here. Symbol Function / Feature Conventional Grill Economy Grill Fanned Grill Conventional Oven Top Heat Only Base Heat Only Fanned Oven Recommended Uses This function cooks food from the top and is ideal for a range of food from toast to steaks. As the whole grill is working you can cook large quantities of food. For smaller quantities of food, but is still ideal for anything from toast to steaks. The fan allows heat to circulate around the food. Ideal for thinner foods such as bacon, fish and gammon steaks. Foods do not require turning. Use with the oven door closed This function is ideal for traditional roasting. The meat is placed in the middle of the oven, roast potatoes towards the top. The heat is ideal for browning the tops of food as it is not as fierce as the grill following conventional or fanned cooking. Provides additional browning for dishes like Lasagna or Cauliflower cheese. The base heat can be used to provide additional browning for pizzas, pies and quiche. Use this function towards the end of cooking. The even temperature in the oven makes this function suitable for batch baking, or batch cooking foods. Fan and Base Heat Only Intensive Bake Defrosting and Cooling Oven Temperature Control Oven Selector Control Lights Only Used to cook open pies (such as mince pies) the base element ensures that the base is cooked while the fan allows the air to circulate around the filling - without being to intensive. Suitable for food with a high moisture content, such as quiche, bread and cheese cake. It also eliminates the need for baking pastry blind. To defrost foods, such as cream cakes/gateaux, use with the oven door closed. For cooling dishes prior to refrigeration, leave the door open. Use to select the oven temperature. Use to select the oven function. Use when the oven is switched off and cold to aid cleaning the oven

15 USING THE OVEN/GRILL - MULTI-FUNCTION GRILLING IN THE MAIN OVEN The main oven grill & fanned grill are fixed settings using the inner element only. Make sure that the programmer is set to manual before grilling. When using either grill function, invert the grill pan trivet and preheat for 5minutes. Conventional grill The door must be open when the grill is used for conventional grilling - either fully open or using the door stop position - open the door about 75mm and it will hold open. If the grill door is closed while the grill is in use, the grill will cycle on and off at a high temperature, causing the door to become hot. (i) Turn the selector control knob to the conventional grill setting. (ii) Turn the oven temperature control knob to the full on setting. Fanned grill The door must be closed when the fanned grill is used. When opening the door, take care to avoid skin contact with any steam which may escape from the cooking. (i) Turn the selector control knob to the fan grill setting. (ii) Turn the oven temperature control knob to the desired temperature setting. When the fanned grill is selected, only the inner element will come on. The main oven is a multi-function oven, and may be used as a conventional oven or a fanned oven. It may also be used as a grill, or with one of the other oven functions. Manual operation The programmer must be set to manual operation before the main oven or grill functions can be used. If A (Auto) is on the programmer display, return the oven to manual operation by pressing the two end buttons. To turn on the main oven Step 1 - Select the function Turn the selector control knob in either direction, until the function you require appears in the window. Step 2 - Set the main oven control If you have selected an oven cooking function, then simply turn the main oven temperature control knob to the required temperature - this brings on the neon indicator light, which will stay on until the oven reaches the required temperature. To switch off the main oven, return the control knob to the off position. Automatic operation See Programmer / Clock section. Using the main oven Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the appliance is in use - keep children away from the vicinity of the oven. Never put items directly on the base of the oven or cover the oven base with foil, as this can cause the base element to overheat. Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the ovens are used, young children should be kept away

16 USING THE OVEN/GRILL - MULTI-FUNCTION Manual operation Set the programmer to manual operation. See Programmer / Clock section. Turn the selector control knob to the symbol for the desired oven function. Turn the main oven temperature control knob to the desired temperature. The red thermostat indicator neon will come on and off until the selected temperature is reached and then go off; it will turn on and off periodically as the thermostat operates to maintain the selected temperature. To switch off the main oven, return the main oven control knob to the off position. Automatic operation See Programmer / Clock section. Preheating Always use the fan oven setting for preheating to save time and electricity. After the oven has been preheated on the fan oven setting, turn the selector control knob to the oven setting you require. The oven must be preheated when cooking frozen or chilled food, and we recommend preheating for yeast mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked sponges, otherwise preheating is not necessary as a fan oven warms up quickly. Preheat the oven until the indicator neon switches off for the first time; this will take between 5-15 minutes, depending on the temperature selected. To help the air circulate freely Position the shelves evenly within the oven and maintain a clearance from the oven roof and base. If more than one cooking dish or baking tray is to be used on a shelf, leave a gap of at least 25mm between the items themselves and the oven interior. Allow enough space between shelves for food that will rise during cooking. Do not place items on the oven base as this will prevent air from circulating freely. MAIN OVEN FUNCTIONS Conventional oven (i) Turn the selector control knob to the conventional oven symbol. (ii) Turn the main oven control knob to the required temperature. The temperature you select corresponds to the temperature in the middle of the oven. The top heat comes from the outer element of the grill, and the base heat is under the oven base. Top heat only (i) Turn the selector control knob to the top heat symbol. (ii) Turn the main oven control to the required temperature. Base heat only (i) Turn the selector control knob to the base heat symbol. (ii) Turn the main oven control knob to the required temperature

17 USING THE OVEN/GRILL - MULTI-FUNCTION Fan oven (i) Turn the selector control knob to the fan oven symbol. (ii) Turn the main oven control knob to the required temperature. The fan oven comes on when the oven is switched on and circulates the air around the oven to give a fairly even temperature throughout the oven.

Intensive bake (i) Turn the selector control to the intensive bake symbol. (ii) Turn the main oven control to the required temperature. Defrosting and cooling (i) Turn the selector control knob to defrost (ii) Turn the oven control to the light symbol. To defrost frozen foods, place food in the centre of the oven and close the door. To cool foods after cooking prior to refrigeration or freezing, place food in the centre of the oven with the door open. Be safe Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this method. Do not defrost larger joints of meat or poultry over 2kg / 4lb using this method. Never place uncooked food which is to be defrosted next to cooked food which is to be cooled, as this can lead to cross contamination. Please refer to the Cooking Guide for more information on using the Defrost function. SLOW COOKING Turn the selector control to either conventional oven or fanned oven. Do not try to slow cook using any of the other oven functions. For roasting joints of meat or poultry and for pot roasts, preheat the oven to 190 C C and cook for 30 minutes, then adjust the oven temperature control to C for the remainder of the cooking time. Always use the top half of the oven when slow cooking with the conventional oven function. Slow cooking times will be about three times as long as conventional cooking times. Make sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before cooking. Do not slow cook joints of meat or poultry weighing more than 2 1 4kg / 4 1 2lb. Always use the top half of the oven for slow cooking

18 USING THE CLOCK/PROGRAMMER-ELEC(if fitted) THE ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMMERS There are two types of programmer covered in this section - push button & touch control. Both programmers have the same symbol variants & functions but may vary in their method of operation. The push button programmer Symbol FUNC- TION or Symbol What is it? Down/minus Used to decrease cook / end time, remove - minutes from the minute minder and adjust the time of day. Also for listening to and setting the alarm tone. Up/plus Used to increase cook / end time, add + minutes to the minute minder and adjust the time of day. Function button Used to select the MODE functions available on this timer. Press once for: Minute Minder. Press twice for: Cook time Press three times for: End time. How to use these functions is explained later on in this section. The function button in the centre is used for setting the minute minder and setting up the automatic cooking. See below for details. Symbols on the LED display. This A symbol appears when either a semi, or fully automatic program is selected. This symbol will flash while a program is being set. Once a program is set the symbol will light up, and remain lit until the alarm sounds, or the program is cancelled. This bell symbol appears when the Minute Minder function has been selected. While the Minute Minder is being set, the Bell symbol flashes. Once the length of time is set, the Bell symbol remains lit until the time runs down, or the function is cancelled. This message and A symbol appear when you are asked to set the length of time you require the oven to cook automatically for.using the Up and Down buttons adjusts this accordingly

19 USING THE CLOCK/PROGRAMMER-ELEC(if fitted) This message and A symbol appear when you are asked to enter in an end time, or when you would like the oven to switch itself off. To set the time of day Setting the minute minder Press the Up and Down buttons together for a few seconds, and release. The in between the numbers on the LED Display will begin to flash. While the is flashing it is possible to adjust the time using the Up and Down buttons. Once the time has been set, allow approximately 30 seconds before using any of the other timer functions. This ensures that the time will remain correct. To select an alarm tone There are three tones to choose from. Press and hold the down button to listen to the first tone. Release the down button and press it again to listen to the second tone etc. Releasing the down button after the tone has sounded will automatically select that tone. To set the Minute Minder, press the Function button once. The bell symbol will appear and start flashing. The flashing only lasts for 5 seconds so the time must be set within this time frame. Use the Up and Down button to set the length of time required. Once this has been done, the Minute Minder is set. When the desired length of time has counted down the alarm will sound. To cancel the tone, press any of the buttons. To cancel the Minute Minder at any time, press the Up and Down buttons together

20 USING THE CLOCK/PROGRAMMER-ELEC(if fitted) Semi-automatic cooking There are two types of semi automatic cooking available on this appliance. The oven must be switched on, and in use to use either of these functions successfully. The Duration method allows you to set the oven for a specific length of time. If a dish needed 2 hours to cook, then it would be possible for you to set the oven to turn off 2 hours later. This allows you to be sure that your food will be cooked for a set length of time and no longer. The End Time method allows you to enter a specific time when you would like the oven to switch off. If you wish to leave the oven unattended, then it offers peace of mind that the oven will have turned itself off at the set time. However, once the program is set then it cannot be adjusted.
